OBGYN,  's  Response
The membranes are stripped to induce the labour. It seems that it has successfully acted in your case. The back ache is due to the dilatation of the cervix. The cervical pain is felt at low back area.
Walking will help the labour to start earlier.
Painful urination is to be looked upon rather seriously. If it is burning sensation, it is likely due to the inflammation at the mouth of the vagina. The burning during complete act of urination suggests the swelling in the urination tube (urethra) while that at the end of the act may be due to swelling or infection like trichomoniasis or fungus at the vaginal mouth.
If the pain is in the lower abdomen at the end of urination, it is suggesting pain in the urinary bladder.
In any case, urinary pain should be reported to your OB physician.
